Chapter 2: Entrepreneurship
The length, width and height of the equipment produced by 'Jade Saucer' are 10-2-1.8 (meters), and it takes 5 people to complete each link from adding raw materials to completing packaging. It takes 15 employees to make the equipment fully operational, after all, employees are not machines, they need to rest. Every 5 employees work 8 hours in one shift, and 3 shifts are exactly 24 hours.
Of course, this kind of performance is completely Chen Dong's own choice, with the scientific and technological level of the Walt people in the 'Jade Disc', he is fully capable of manufacturing fully automatic and integrated equipment. However, that kind of equipment is not at all possible on the earth at this stage, and it is not to make trouble for yourself to take it out and use it, and Chen Dong is not stupid. Even if it is the current machine that is made out of nothing, Chen Dong has been worried for several days, fortunately no one has checked, otherwise he really can't explain it clearly.
Because the salary at the time of recruitment was not low, the recruitment process was quite smooth. Female workers: basic salary of 3,000 yuan, full attendance bonus of 200 yuan, overtime pay (2 p.m. to 10 p.m., overtime pay of 10 yuan, 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. of the next morning, overtime pay of 20 yuan). After working for three months, pay three insurances and one housing fund, pay seniority salary after working for one year, and pay an extra 100 yuan per month for one year of service. Don't underestimate the 100 yuan seniority salary, if you work for ten or twenty years, you can pay an extra one or two thousand per month.
You know, this is a small county, and the monthly salary of ordinary male workers is only more than 3,000 (except for skilled jobs), and there is no insurance. This kind of treatment even makes men excited to see it, and it is not surprising that they can recruit employees in a short period of time. The only concern of the workers is whether the ruined-looking factory is a lie, and whether it will be able to pay wages at the end of the month.
You know, 16 people are paid a lot, 15 female workers plus an accountant, the treatment is the same as that of female workers, because it is a normal shift (8 to 12 in the morning, 2:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon), so there is no overtime pay. Worried about worrying, since they came, the workers decided to try it for a month, what if it was true? Chen Dong is a local after all, so where can he run if he is allowed to run?
The production process of mobile phone batteries is very simple, all assembly line operations, only need Chen Dong to explain it briefly, and then let the workers be familiar with the equipment to operate. As for the question of proficiency, you can practice slowly in actual operation, practice makes perfect, just get used to it.
From the completion of preheating (the preparation of graphene is made by silicon carbide epitaxy, which requires a high-temperature environment of ultra-high vacuum) to the loading of 10,000 batteries, the whole process takes less than 17 hours (an average of 600 cells per hour). There was no problem with the equipment, and the workers were not in a lively mood because of the weather, which can be said to be smooth sailing. Even the inspection and warehousing after the battery was sent to the longan mobile phone were calm, and there were no accidents.
However, when Chen Dong took the warehousing slip to settle the payment, he was told: "According to the company's financial system, it will take three months before the payment can be released." ”
Chen Dong was dumbfounded when he heard this, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and his heart was beating faster... This is because Chen Dong's start-up capital is only 150,000 yuan in total, and the preliminary preparations have been almost spent.
After communicating with the financial staff to no avail, Chen Dong could only go to Sun Xiangqian, that is, the manager of the purchasing department, all the previous things were handled by Sun Xiangqian, who else could Chen Dong find if he didn't look for him.
After all, Chen Dong is just a student who has just walked out of the university, so he doesn't know the doorway here. This kind of settlement system is not only used by longan companies, but also used by many large companies, and there are also those who are accepted when it comes to settlement. Don't want acceptance? No problem, then discount!
After finding Sun Xiangqian, Chen Dong directly expressed his intention and hoped that Sun Xiangqian would help. He was really anxious, and the tone of his voice was even a bit of a hint of asking the teacher. This is the manifestation of Chen Dong's straightforwardness, or low emotional intelligence, if he puts it another way, he is tactful and polite, and it may not be impossible to succeed.
Sun Xiangqian was not happy when he heard it: "Mr. Chen, our company's financial system has always been like this, and it is not aimed at you alone?" How? Are you still worried that our big company will not pay your 400,000 yuan? To tell you the truth, don't say it's 400,000, it's 4 million, 40 million, and you have to abide by the company's financial system..."
Chen Dong didn't have the heart to listen to these scenes, and before Sun Xiangqian finished speaking, he interrupted and said, "Mr. Sun, please, can you help me think of a way?" I will do whatever the conditions are. "This is another manifestation of Chen Dong's low emotional intelligence, but he is in a hurry! He was really anxious, and he was about to cry, otherwise, he would not have been able to say the word 'begging'.
As soon as the word 'begging' came out, Chen Dong wanted to die. Since he was a child, this is the first time he has said this word. It is said that men have gold under their knees, and they kneel to the sky and kneel to their parents, but what era is it now, even in the countryside, they don't kneel to the sky, they don't kneel to the ground, and they don't kneel to their parents. Chen Dong is the kind of character who doesn't ask for anything, and in his heart, saying a word is almost like kneeling.
Sun Xiangqian didn't care about this, he didn't look at Chen Dong: "It's useless for you to beg me, the system is the system, even if the boss comes, you have to abide by it, otherwise why do you need a financial system?" Go back, Mr. Chen. By the way, on the 10th, 11th, and 12th of each month, the loan will be released on these three days, and you can come over then. ”
"Well, let's do it!" After saying this, Chen Dong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Goodbye, Mr. Sun." Chen Dong is such a character, even if he breaks off his relationship, he will not speak ill of him, let alone make a big fuss in other people's companies. Besides, other people's financial systems are here, and he really doesn't know what to do.
"Well, Mr. Chen walks slowly, I won't send it." Sun Xiangqian didn't even raise his head.
Walking out of Sun Xiangqian's office, Chen Dong walked out of the gate of Longan Company with his heavy legs and sat in his van, feeling that the whole sky was gray and colorless. It wasn't until this time that he knew the reason why his father prevented him from starting a business, and he lacked social experience!
If you don't get the payment, you can't pay the workers, you can't continue to start production, and you can't go back to Qinglong County. How did he deal with the workers when he returned? How to face the father?
In desperation, Chen Dong found a small hotel outside, the kind of 40 yuan a day, and fell asleep when he entered the room, without even taking off his clothes.
For two days in a row, Chen Dongwo neither washed his face nor went out in the small hotel, and even rarely ate food, so frightened that the hotel owner thought that he had a nervous disorder and almost called the police.
What Chen Dong didn't know was that Longan Mobile launched a limited edition mobile phone with only 9,999 units yesterday, using the graphene polymer material battery provided by Chen Dong. The so-called limited edition mobile phone is the original model, but the shell is replaced with sapphire blue, the battery is replaced with graphene, and all other properties are the same, and the price is 100 higher. This is not because Longan mobile phone is perfunctory to users, but because in such a short period of time, there is really no way to develop a new mobile phone.
At noon that day, a burst of cloud palace news sounded, it was the opening song of Journey to the West, Chen Dong was lying on the bed and thinking nonsense, and it took a long time to react, this is his mobile phone ringtone!
After the phone was connected, a deep voice came from the other side: "Hello, is it Mr. Chen of Raven Graphene Battery Technology Company?" ”
"That's right, I'm Chen Dong, who are you?"
"My name is Wang Yang, Wang Yang of the ocean, I work for Xiangcheng Mobile, do you have time?"
Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that he had called Xiangcheng Mobile Phone before, and then thought of the information he had collected, Wang Yang was the head of the purchasing department of Xiangcheng Mobile Phone, a proper boss, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, there is time, you can say something!" ”
"Then I'm welcome, the battery for the new limited edition mobile phone launched by Mr. Chen and Guiyuan Company is provided by you!"
"Yes."
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Chen, I happened to be on a business trip when you called our company before, and I heard the secretary talk about it when I came back today, I don't know if we have the possibility of cooperation."
"Yes, yes, yes." As soon as he heard that the other party wanted to cooperate, Chen Dong was of course happy, no matter whether the other party said that the business trip was a pretext or not, people could take the initiative to call over and already showed their attitude. But thinking of his current situation, he said with some hesitation: "Mr. Wang, can you make an appointment for me to go to your company and we will meet and talk." ”
I don't have a penny in my hand but I want to talk about cooperation with others, even Chen Dong himself feels unreliable, so he wants to meet and talk with the other party, the possibility of success in talking about this kind of thing on the phone is basically zero, although the meeting and talk may not be successful, there is a little hope of losing it after all. Of course, if Chen Dong wants financing, it's still fine, the key problem is that he doesn't want financing!
For Chen Dong, Wang Yang's phone call is like a life-saving straw, no matter whether it can be done or not, he has to find a way to catch it.
"Yes! I have time at any time, I don't know when Mr. Chen will come, Wang Yang will be waiting. ”
"You're too polite, can we meet tomorrow morning?"
"No problem, call this at the door of our company, and I'll go down and pick you up."
"Okay, then, first?"
"Okay, Mr. Chen, see you tomorrow."
"Mr. Wang, I'll see you tomorrow."
Hanging up the phone, Chen Dong immediately ran out to check out, left, and got on the highway without even eating, until he was hungry at night, and then he went into the service area to go to the toilet, wash his face, eat, buy water, buy cigarettes, and refuel.
